    Actually did this build, still use it today.
    The mobo is hard to work with, you definitely need a power supply upgrade. And there are variants of the CPU you can find. I found mine with a i7-4770, slapped a MSI Ventus 1660 Super OC in it, swapped it, and installed a new PSU. Ran Death Stranding at 60 FPS. (If you plan to do a case swap adapters are required for the front panel. There are some UA-cam videos covering it.)

    You should also check if the cpu can keep up with the gpu. I just searched up and the gpu combo that you picked will cause the gpu to perform 40.5% less than it would with a very good cpu.

    • @ayyerr
      @ayyerr Рік тому +5

      Stop listening to these stupid bottleneck calculators and use your common sense, of course it's gonna bottleneck in certain games but it's not a flat "40.5%". A game like fortnite will be probably limited by the cpu, but if you try putting it at the highest settings and higher res it will be limited by the gpu. GPUs don't get magically bottlenecked by a CPU unless it supports an older version of PCIe, and both parts use PCIe 3.0

    I'd get a 2nd hand PSU, spend a few dollars on some noctua TIM (nt-h1 price for performance and quantity is best value I know of and you won't be able to take advantage of what something like TG kryonaut or hydronaut brings on that CPU). I'd go for a 2nd hand GPU also like a 3060 and you can probably end up still in budget.
    If you're patient you can find Optiplexes coming out in huge lots out of places like electronics recycling centers for cheaper or from auctions. The mobos have few frills but are typically reliable, the cases at least used to be very easy to work in if proprietary, and you can get a solid working machine.
